Additives for the Processing of
PVC Plastisol
Plastisols are dispersions of paste PVC resins in plasticiser. Being liquid, plastisols allow pressureless moulding at
room temperature. Plastisols fuse or gel when heated and turn into a homogenous melt at about 150 – 210 °C.
Liquid BaZn, CaZn stabilisers, pastes and modern solid CaZn stabilisers are widely used for plastisol processing.
Contrary to other PVC processing methods, the required amount of stabiliser is relatively small. Lubricants are
normally not used for processing, e.g. release agents can be applied directly to the mould instead of being incorporated into the plastisol. If necessary, both heat and light stability of mixed metal stabilisers can be enhanced by
adding epoxidised soya bean oil (ESBO) like Baerostab LSA or epoxidised fatty acid ester like Baerostab LSU.
Low tox, low odour and low volatile stabiliser systems have become more and more common in plastisol applications, e.g. in flooring, wall coverings, toys, car interiors, etc. ...
Baerlocher stabilisers for plastisols are developed under respect of REACH regarding the safety and protection of
people and environment.
When choosing a stabiliser, the requirements of the final product need to be specified in detail in order to adjust
both the performance and the price-effectiveness of the stabiliser.
The requirements a stabiliser must comply with:
•
application
•
processing and specific necessities
•
the performance required of the final product
•
the legal requirements during manufacturing and use of the final product.

Dependent on the final use goods could be produced in compact and expanded form or in many combinations.
Expanded goods are either produced by mechanical foam (dispersion of small air bubbles like whipped cream) or
by chemical process (decomposition of added blowing agent).
Azodicarbonamide (ADC) is the blowing agent with highest importance. For food contact applications (e.g. crown
caps) ADC is no longer admitted and replaced by sodium-hydrogen-carbonate in combination with a non-tox stabiliser.
So called kickers reduce the high decomposition temperature of ADC to approx. 150°C to 200°C. Kickers also
have a stabilising effect.
Most widely-used kickers are potassium-zinc (K/Zn) and barium-zinc (Ba/Zn). Kickers based on low odour and low
volatile solvents with a flash point higher 100°C are favoured.
For plastisol processing following techniques are used :
•
Spread coating
•
Screen printing
•
Casting
•
Dipping
•
Spraying
During spread coating the plastisol is applied to textiles, fabrics, mats, metal belts, papers or release papers by a
knife, a roller or a brush, followed by gelling or pre-gelling when further coatings will be applied. Gelling and pregelling could be made by drum or by oven.
Casting technology include 3 different possibilities:
A. casting of solid parts
B. slush moulding of half-open parts (e.g. crash pads for automotive applications) and
C. rotational moulding for the manufacture of closed hollow bodies (e.g. balls, dolls, toys, anatomic models)
There are two different ways of dip coating: hot dipping (the moulds or metal parts are heated before dipping) and
cold dipping (the moulds or metal parts are cold or slightly pre-heated when dipped into the plastisol). With hot
dipping coating thickness is determined by temperature of the dipped part and the dipping time in the plastisol,
which has usually a low viscosity and very good ageing behaviour. With cold dipping viscosity and rheological
behaviour are the most important factors.
During spraying process the PVC mass is applied by a nozzles to metal surfaces under high pressure. The sprayed
product will be gelled by moving to an oven.
Applications
Stabilisers for carpet backing
With this application based on paste-making PVC copolymers (approx. 5 % acetate) special types of
azodicarbonamide are used which contain some activators for reduction of the decomposition temperature.
For increasing activation kickers are suitable due to their high zinc content.
For compact backing or heavy-weight coatings the same CaZn stabilisers are recommended as used for basecoat
of CV flooring (cf. p. 10).

Stabilisers for flooring
Floorings manufactured by plastisol processing are heterogeneous (combination of PVC with other materials, e.g.
glassfibre mat), mainly Cushion Vinyls (CV).
CV flooring
Top coat
Printing with inhibitor
Foam
Base coat
Glass fibre mat
Back coat
As shown above, CV flooring normally consists of 6 layers (from top to bottom):
1. the topcoat or wear layer (provides the wearing properties),
2. the printing, normally up to 6 colours, partly with inhibitor containing printing ink,
3. the foamcoat which will be chemically inhibited,
4. the basecoat (or impregnation coat) for closing the open glassfibre mat and for achieving an
absolutely smooth surface for the following coating,
5. the glassfibre mat and
6. the backing.
Topcoat
The topcoat is the last spread coating in the manufacture of the upper side of the flooring.
After applying the topcoat the flooring is finally gelled and expanded in an oven. This step mainly
determines the speed of the total line, assuming that the total process is continuous.
The stabiliser of the topcoat must meet quite a number of demanding requirements. Not only does
the stabiliser impart the heat stability required for processing, it also influences colour, transparency,
brilliancy, light stability, dark yellowing, stain resistance, PU lacquering and the decomposition of the
blowing agent in the foam coat close to the border-line foam coat/top-coat.
Other important requirements are very low volatility, low odour and low phenol content. The following
stabilisers are recommended:

Printing
After pregelling the foam coat is printed. For an excellent printing quality the surface of the foam coat must be
absolutely smooth. Some of the printing inks contain a so-called inhibitor (usually benzotriazole and its derivates)
which delays or prevents expansion of the foam coat when applied to specific areas. During later expansion this
method produces flooring with a relief structure according to the printed design and is known as chemical
embossing.
Foamcoat
Normally ZnO is used as kicker in the foam coat. If required, the activation of the blowing agent can be modified
by addition of further kickers like Baerostab KK 430 or KK 47 S (see also back coating). For the pregelling of the
foam coat a low temperature (about 150 °C) is used so that no decomposition of the blowing agent can occur
(even a very small decomposition leads subsequently to irregular cell structure with eventually big bubbles).
Basecoat
The surface quality of the pre-gelled basecoat is responsible for the smoothness and uniform thickness of the
applied foam coat and therefore also affects the quality of the later printing. To achieve an absolutely smooth and
closed (porous-free) surface the basecoat is gelled in contact with a heated metal surface (heated drum). During
spreading onto the open glass fibre mat the plastisol penetrates more or less into the mat (impregnation of the
mat). The degree of penetration is fixed by the type of glass fibre mat, the plastisol rheology, the kind of spreading and the line speed. Normally, relatively highly filled plastisols (or mechanical foams) are applied. For the heat
stabilisation inexpensive stabilisers are sufficient except in cases where additional requirements of the finished product demand special stabilisers like low emission, low phenol content and low odour products. The normal dosage
is about 1 phr.

Glass fibre mat
The glass fibre mats used are in the weight range of approx. 40 – 60 g/m2 with a thickness of about 0.4 mm.
Despite the low weight and the low mechanical properties, the mat is strong enough for direct spreading and
imparts the required dimensional stability to the finished flooring.
Back coat (backing)
The backing can be done in a separate process or – with continuous process – in line after turning of the expanded
product. The gelling temperatures for the backing are below those for previous expansion in order to avoid afterblowing of the inhibited foam coat and to protect the downwards turned surface of the flooring from damage.
The back coating includes three alternatives:
1. compact
2. chemical foam
3. mechanical foam
Compact backing
The formulations used are very similar to those used for the basecoat. Accordingly the same stabilisers are
applied.
Chemical foam backing
Due to the relatively low temperatures for expansion only very fast kickers are used in combination with fast
expandable PVC resins or with PVC copolymers (approx. 5 % acetate).

Mechanical foam backing
The preparation of the mechanical foam is done by means of special high speed foam mixers by incorporation
of air into the plastisol. To prevent the foam from collapsing during further processing (spreading, gelation) it
is stabilised by some kind of emulsifier. These foam stabilisers can be based on soaps or silicones. Normally
silicones are preferred because they impart some water repellent properties to the foam and produce more
open-cell foams. Additionally, the choice of PVC resins is easier. For heat stability the same stabilisers are used
as for the basecoat (if there are no special requirements).
Stabilisers for artificial leather
The product range of artificial leathers is almost unlimited. The large number of possible products, beginning with
compact unsupported and ending with compact-expanded-textile supported for various requirements or applications (bags, upholstery, clothing, suitcases, shoes, table cloth, etc.), is additionally complicated by variations in
processing. All these different possibilities result in different requirements and therefore efficting the choice of stabiliser and kicker.

Stabilisers for artificial leather / automotive use
The requirements on the raw materials for products for car interiors have been increased dramatically in the last
years. The specifications range from more stringent fogging demands to heat ageing resistance in the temperature
range of 130 °C and perfect vacuum forming of unsupported expanded artificial leather. A further requirement is
the colour resistance in contact with PUR foam.
Co-stabilisers like Baerostab ASM 711 and ASM 715 normally used in combination with basic stabilisers.

Kickers and stabilisers for vinyl wall coverings
High speed processing for wall covering manufacturing requires kickers to start chemical foaming reaction. Next
to kickers stabilisers are needed for compact vinyls or compact parts of expanded vinyls. The requirements on the
kickers and stabilisers regarding kicking behaviour, whiteness and heat stability are extremely high. New issues like
odour and emissions become more and more important.
